On the way home I have a layover in Cairo from 11 am to 11 pm so thought I might do a tour of something. <br /><br />Selma- You know during that documentary I kept thinking, these young men have had their purpose wiped away and they're just trying to find something to give their life a purpose. Who would willingly choose the gang life if they had other choices?Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-59277435149000303752010-04-29T15:44:21.983+02:002010-04-29T15:44:21.983+02:00I've seen that doco and it really shocked me. ...I've seen that doco and it really shocked me. It is an incredibly hard, stressful life for the gang members and no one does anything. It is like a kind of genocide.<br /><br />Hope you have a good, fruitful time in Egypt.

Publishers drive me bonkers.<br />Several of my family members (including the husband) are in the entertainment business, and they alway want something just like the last big hit until they wake up and realize that people have been saturated with (vampire or whatever) and they are looking for something fresh and different. But it takes someone willing to take that risk and risk takers are hard to find. Sigh.<br /><br />My husband has been to Egypt many times and he says its an amazing country. Hope you have a good month.Elizabeth Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150221675618198674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-23224716173657875222010-04-28T11:42:10.342+02:002010-04-28T11:42:10.342+02:00In the queue I have The Road and Supreme Coutship ...In the queue I have The Road and Supreme Coutship and Three Cups of Tea but I'm hoping too to buy a lot of Egyptian books.
